Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 4-(4-amino-3-chlorobenzoyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (45.3 mmol, 15.4 g), dichloromethane (50 mL) and 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid (136 mmol, 15.50 g) were stirred for 24 hours. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and was then basified with potassium carbonate (aqueous). The aqueous was extracted with ethyl acetate and then dichloromethane to give the title compound (7.7 g).
